K & T | Mapperton House | Debs Alexander
An absolutely stunning wedding photographed by the brilliant Debs Alexander. Three venues were involved, firstly Chetnole Church with an arch and avenue of shepherds crooks leading up to the entrance, then moving across to the stunning Mapperton House with a Taddle Farm Tent marquee within the immaculate Italian gardens, and finally on Sunday moving to Sherborne School.
“Thank you thank you! The flowers were stunning. And there were so many of them! It was absolutely what I’d asked for ‘English country with a little bit of Africa’! It was a pleasure to have them for the whole weekend and our guests were so pleased to have bunches to take away. Thank you for all that you and your team did to make the whole thing come together.”
WWW | Forde Abbey | Katherine Newman
This collaboration, featured on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, looks through a Pre-Raphaelite lens on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades; presenting the story of love and abduction in vivid and rich textures and colours.
Plunged into the Underworld, through a moongate of amaranthus tendrils, contorted willow, and deep burgundy dahlias, Persephone falls in love with Hades. Forde Abbey was the most fitting backdrop, complete with beautiful lakes, classical Greek follies and impeccable gardens.

‘Inspired by Greek Mythology, these images and accompanying film are dreamy, ethereal and oh so romantic. There were the most decadent florals; with a bountiful bouquet and a moongate flower arch backdrop, which was adorned with greenery, willow, dahlias and trailing amaranthus. The results are just breathtaking!’

“They got married, perched on the edge of the temple, with an audience of friends and family, and what a spectacular spot to tie the knot. Flowing with flowers and magical touches, guests and bridal party alike had to walk through a dark and mysterious grotto before heading up to the flower-adorned structure.” – Words by Emma of Big Bouquet Photography

They complimented everything and just brought the whole day together!”

We may have to have another party!”
Showcase | Axnoller | Katharine Davies
This colourful Spring tablescape was commissioned by Alo Brake of Axnoller, photographed by the incredible Katharine Davies Photography and featured in Issue 20 of Vow Magazine
The brief for the flowers was extravagance without being contrived. This effect is assembled by varying different elements: cyclamen in gold gilded tins, single stem bottles with peonies and ranunculus, a multitude of candlesticks in blush and cranberry, and those huge pedestals overflowing with naturalistic spring blooms.

She is so creative, has so many suggestions and we were blown away with the result, as were our friends and family – we have had so many comments about our choice of flowers and colour scheme. We would definitely, without a doubt, recommend Caroline for any event you are planning.”

“I still have my head in the clouds two weeks after a wedding that far surpassed my wildest expectations, in no small part thanks to your mega genius ability to transform places and people. You absolutely nailed my vision without stress or even much discussion. Beyond you creativity, I enjoyed working with you and appreciated your presence – and bringing the bouquet just in the nick of time! You are calm and competent and made me feel the same. It almost makes me want to get married again. I thought the flowers were the most beautiful I’ve ever seen.”

As if gathered from the meadows, this wedding had various tones of pale yellow roses, and small daisies. Hinton St George Church was fully decked out, gate posts, an avenue of sheperds crooks, pedestals, fonts and window sills all captured by the fabulous Jessica at Red Rabbit Photography.
“Caroline was a pleasure to work with and had a real eye for making our ideas come to life. Our flowers were absolutely perfect. A story told as the first arrangements on the gates of the church welcomed us in their glorious abundance while others led us to the church door. The shades of the colour that Caroline chose for bouquets and arrangements were just impeccable. My advice to anyone planning a wedding would be ” just leave it to Caroline!”

A & C | North Cadbury Court | Paul Hames
With a palate of bright pinks and orange tones, this late August wedding at North Cadbury Court almost imitated the sunset.

Every part of the experience was excellent, she went over and above to make our day very special, to accommodate the budget we were working with, to create the style of flowers we loved and listened to all the details comments we had. The result was breathtaking, when the flowers arrived I was blown away, they completely exceeded my expectations. Caroline delivered on all accounts – thanks again to Caroline and her team!”

What I do know is that flowers make everything better. As you can probably tell from my choice of branding, I adore flowers.

N & B | North Cadbury Court | Joe Kingston
Based around jewel colours this is one of my favourite colour schemes, and Joe Kingston went above and beyond photographing these flowers. The impressive North Cadbury Court was gorgeously decorated with a purple theme, and the flowers replicated this with different tones.
“Caroline was the only florist I met with who was able to work creatively around my budget, she came up with ideas where we could save money but still have flowers with impact. She did that with absolute aplomb on the day – I couldn’t believe how beautiful and unusual the flowers were, our guests were genuinely amazed by them.
Most importantly Caroline really listened to what I wanted regarding colour and the flowers that I wanted to include because they meant something personal to me. Caroline was amazing at answering any questions I had no matter how basic, and was incredibly generous with her time. I would 100% recommend Fleur Provocateur to anyone.”

To capture this grand tablescape the fantastic and very trusting Vasko Photography climbed a ladder in the North Hall. This glittering effect was created with crystal candelabra, votives and single stem bottles, set off by mirror runner and sage tablecloths, enclosed by uplit olive trees.

L & D | Chaffeymoor Grange | James Fear Photography
Absolutely magical photographs captured by James Fear at Chaffeymoor Grange. There is always the risk with a January wedding of classic English weather, but this gorgeous couple braved the chill, and caught these lovely shots. As ever, we love working with the fab team at Amazing Face Dorset.
